MURDER SOLICITORS

Murder cases are the most difficult and most specialised. Don’t gamble with your representation

Our murder solicitors leave no stone unturned in a murder case. Every detail is worth investigating. Every witness needs to be traced, and top forensic experts brought in. Only top barristers should be hired for the defence. We care about one result – a not guilty verdict.

72% of our clients win their cases

Our criminal solicitors fight to win our clients’ cases and the proof is our results. Where a client doesn’t admit the allegation we win at trial or get the case dropped beforehand in 72% of cases.*

We listen carefully

We listen to you and treat your situation as if we were in your shoes. We don’t hire staff unless they have this mindset. Every case is supervised by one of the firm’s directors.

We investigate thoroughly

We do our own thorough investigation and find the best way to present your case to the police, to the prosecutor, or finally to the jury. This means phone, letters, and aggressive advocacy on your behalf at every stage.

Our criminal solicitors never give up

We never give up, and we fight until we get the result. That can mean early mornings, late nights, and commitment to go the extra mile.

It is a mistake to assume that all criminal lawyers provide a similar service. Having a top law firm with a really good win rate on your side can make the difference between winning and losing. Don’t take the risk.

* 71% of clients’ cases resulted case being discontinued at investigation or court stage, or not guilty verdict after trial. Data from all criminal clients between 02.2017 and 08.2019 - excludes cases where the client admitted the offence and chose to plead guilty.

Cases our murder solicitors have acted in include:

The alleged murder of a rapper and CBBC TV Actor for which police launched an international social media campaign.
Our murder solicitors defended Warren Allen, wrongfully accused of the murder of Kelvin Easton, the so called 'unavenged killing' that led to the shooting of Mark Duggan by the Metropolitan Police, sparking the London Riots.
The case of Paul Hookway, whose arrest for murder was overturned in the High Court, leading to the Police Bail Crisis of 2011 and rush emergency legislation by the home secretary Theresa May.
The defence of Alan Lord, accused and found not guilty of the murder of an inmate during the Strangeways Prison Riot.
The Penny Black Murder. Our client was Damien Noonan, found not guilty of the murder of ‘White Tony’ Johnson. This case signalled the beginning of Manchester’s infamous ‘Gunchester’ era.
